Rice Dumplings....

Although Dragon Boat Festival Day(Duan Wu) already pass, but today i only just eat zong zi because the last four day i'm still study in Penang, cannot absent for the class and find no chance to eat at there. So sad.

Ki Cang (Jianshui zong) from Hokkien... Meaning "alkaline water zong", these are typically eaten as a dessert rather than as a main meal. The glutinous rice is treated with lye water (aqueous sodium carbonate), giving them their distinctive yellow color. Jianshui zong typically contain either no filling or are filled with a sweet mixture. They are often eaten with sugar or light syrup.

Bak Cang from Hokkien or Chinese Rice Dumplings is a traditional Chinese food served on the Duan Wu festival. It is made of glutinous rice suffered with various fillings and wrapped in bamboo or reed leaves.

Legend goes that when Qu Yuan jumped into the river, the local people, who loved him deeply, searched for him in the river, at that time, they threw their local food Zongzi into the river in order to keep the fishes from eating Qu’s body.

Another legend says that at first, the local folk threw rice into the river to feed the fishes, but one night, the spirit of Qu asked his friends to wrap the rice into three-cornered silk packages to ward off the dragon. So, that is believed as the origin of Zongzi.
